Many thanks Jens

A definite maybe, it has paint overspray on the beading too which is a sign of this maker.

Thanks for the information guys. So it is 106 ? Good observation on the paint overspray in the beading, I didnt noticed that before. I thought the cores were painted before installment ?

Thanks Jens

Here is mine to compare. Most EKs were painted before assembly and not touched up but a feature of this maker is that very often you will find paint overspray on the beading. There is a thread somewhere that has a pic of this being done. I'll try and dig it out.

Thanks very much for your help Adrian. This was realy new to me. Thanks for posting the link and the pics of your cross. The marking looks the same like mine but a bit stronger.

Many thanks again, Jens
